Last Updated: JAN 17, 2013
Taiwan's top computer maker Acer Inc has launched 7-inch Acer Iconia B1 tablet in India at Rs 7,999. The Acer Iconia B1 tablet, which runs Google's Android 4.1 OS (Jelly Bean), features a 7-inch capacitive multi-touch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.
According to reports, the company unveiled the Acer Iconia B1 tablet at the world's largest consumer technology event - CES 2013 - a few days back.
The Acer Iconia B1 tablet, which weighs 320g, is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor.
At 7-inch, the tablet features 8GB of internal storage, which can expanded upto 32GB via the microSD slot. It also sports a front facing camera on the top right corner that enables users to seamlessly connect video calls.
According to Acer, an improvised design in the form of a triangular corner grip on the lower left side allows for single handed use.
Earlier on Jan 8, Acer unveiled low-cost mini tablet that an official says could sell for $99 in some emerging markets.
Acer said the tablet will be powered by a dual core processor made by Taiwan-based MediaTek Inc., whose processors are widely used by Chinese makers of low-cost smartphones.
Acer president Jim Wong stated that Iconia B1 would first be introduced in Asia and South America at prices that could go as low as $99 in special promotional programs.
That will make it cheaper than Google's Nexus 7 or Amazon's Kindle Fire.
Once a leading PC maker, Acer's revenue has fallen sharply as tablets undermine PC competitiveness.
